View Poll Results: Does Mitt's history as a prankster mean he's a bad president-to-be?

The more accurate polls will not be released until monday. I like Rassumsson personally. Gallup was not that accurate in 2008 election. If you would have watched the debate, it was painfully obvious that Romney hammered Obama. Romney's mannerisms were a stark contrast to Obama's. Simply put, Romney was faster responding, on point and to the point. Romney appeared presidential...Obama didn't. He was impressive to say the least. I am looking forward to the Ryan/Biden debate next week. Obama and the dems must be cringing at this. Biden has proven to be not real bright and kind of a doofus. How he got the VP is beyond me. I expect Biden to piss himself at some point during the debate and possibly swallow his own fucking tongue.

I didn't see the debate but the clips that I did see I was like wtf Obama. It looked like he didn't want to be there. Romney did look like looked like he knew what he was doing. But the FACT that Romney said to the moderator (who works for PBS) that he will cut fundings for PBS and he would be out of a job shows what a jackass is he. On National tv he told the moderator if Romney has his way he would cut his job.

Ryan/Biden debate... That might be interesting. I have a feeling that Biden will BEAT Ryan in the debate. How you expect Biden to do, I feel Ryan will do that. Ryan is an asshole.

Well, for those that actually pay attention, yes the debates might actually matter. The person is running for president of the US. They are kind of entertaining too. While most of the points are fairly broad, you get a sense of the person. Also, depending on how the candidate does, the political contributions can be huge.

Biden will need his pacifier. I do not think here is one person who honestly feels Biden is Ryan's intellectual equal. Biden's remarks I have a feeling will be all-time goony and off base. Face it, he (Biden) may be a faily smart guy, but in the public arena, he usually comes off as an idiot. He will do Obama zero good.

Ryan is an asshole. Seems like a perfectly logical and well thought out reason to feel Biden will do good against him. As usual, you are incorrect.

Ryan being an asshole is not the reason Biden will do good. I said that he was an asshole as an afterthought. Since Obama didn't do good I feel like Biden will do great cause they(the pratice moderator and practice debater guy) will have Biden ready and prepared. Ryan I don't see him doing see him doing good at all. I see Ryan epic failing.

Sure, they "matter" -- tell that to Al Gore. But are they changing anyone's mind?

I already thought Romney was a douche, and the debate just sealed that deal. "I care about jobs, but not yours, Mr. Lehrer. Your work is not worthy."

When you owe $16,000,000,000,000, you may have to cut a few things from your past spending habits. In fact, it is damn irresponsible to think any other way. PBS may be one of them. If you were looking for work, Romney, and those of his ilk, would suddenly not be a douche. They are the ones who make things happen in the real world. He didn't sit back and wait for his assistance to roll in and then protest because he had less than the next guy. You dislike Romney for no other reason than he is a rich republican. If he offered you a $100,000 a year job, super guy.

If Ryan tells even half as many blatant lies as he's told in the past, and if people actually fact check, the man doesn't stand a chance.

When did Romney say Lehrer's work was not worthy?

Right, that makes a lot of sense. Making sure people have jobs boosts the economy, causes people to earn more and therefore pay more taxes... which means the govt can pay off debt. But Republicans don't want 100% employment in the US, because that would be too socialist :-x

Plus, PBS brings in a LOT of money via donations between shows. PBS is not a money sucker.

And Mitt wanted to kill Big Bird!
The single most important thing on Earth, of course. But as we know, Obama enjoys spending time hanging with Hu Jintao. So it makes sense that he borrows from China to pay for Big Bird.
Should people chill out, and realize that ordinary people also contribute to PBS? Yes they should. The gov. cannot fund everything.

You will never achieve 100% employment and using that as an argument is stupid. People naturally drop in and out of the job market and then there are those certain % of people who simply cannot or will not work for various reasons. Usually max employment is seen when unemployment is between 3-4%.

As far as reduction of the deficit, if anyone criticizes Romney's very broad based idea (as laid out the other night) has to be friggin brain dead. How specific can you get in 5 minutes? You can't. He has a plan though. Plus, they must want Obama's last breath to be very soon cause he has buried the deficit in spite of his election lie of actually reducing it. Fuckin laughable.

One way they are going raise revenue is through new taxes placed on health care coming 1/1/13. Also, the feds just hired or will be hiring 1,000 additional fte auditors to enforce this disaster called Obamcare. And by enforce, I mean fine and fuck with American businesses.
